Job description

Dollar Tree keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Paterson, and the next opinion we need belongs to an Azure Engineer. The promise is concrete — $97,000 - $125,000, freelance hours, 5 years honored, and a technology role at Dollar Tree that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the Observability coding standards the rest of Dollar Tree engineering follows

• Spike an Istio proof of concept fast when Dollar Tree needs a yes-or-no answer
• Ship the Self-Motivation refreshingly-candid rewrite that pays down years of Dollar Tree technical debt
• Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Infrastructure as Code

What You'll Bring

• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Experience thriving in a boldly-pragmatic, deadline-driven setting like Dollar Tree
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• Roughly 3+ years operating in a similar Azure Engineer position

Across NJ, the autonomy-driven technology systems people trust most often turn out to be Dollar Tree, built quietly in Paterson. We onboard you to the technology mission first and the Service Mesh tooling second, in that order.

Our $97,000 - $125,000 package travels with real mentorship, a growth ladder you can see, and the flexibility to clock in from Paterson or home.

Right now, today, this seat at Dollar Tree is genuinely empty and waiting.
